Looks like these Calendars are gone-gone. Went from on-sale overstock to unlisted.

The Gin one is on sale for 69.95.

I don't understand the logic of a) long sold out items remaining on product searches for months, or b) items on store shelves nowhere to be found BUT can confirm the holiday whisky calendar is very much still available - at least a dozen at Yonge/Hwy7 location!

Halfway through the set,
very disappointing thus far
This type of tasting set should showcase a variety of distilleries AND flavour profiles. So far, the variety of distilleries is there but the 8 single malts are virtually indistinguishable from a smell/taste perspective. All from fairly tired ex-bourbon casks and very young/immature.

Only the Ardmore and Auchroisk have been better than average.

Hoping the second half is better but now glad I got $100 back from the original $200 I paid!
